Since mozilla will remain at the same version as it is from FC5, other 
packages will be held from being updated, as with the original posters 
problem. If FC6 (and current development) could pull in seamonkey if 
mozilla is installed and seamonkey was not yet installed for the FC5 to 
FC6 upgrade path, a lot of potential upgrade problems would be avoided.

How are current FC5 to FC6Test versions handling the mozilla orphaning? 
Are the upgrade attempts removing mozilla, disregarding the possible 
conflicts mozilla being stale could cause, or are they removing mozilla 
from upgraded systems?

I think after the rambling, your suggestion for the repackaging of 
seamonkey for FC6 would work out great to overcome potential problems 
from all upgrades backward of FC6. FC5 is of course alright, nothing 
conflicts with mozilla as of today. :-)
